moment2moment: "Marathon" by Tennis



If you're living in the muggy blanket London like I was back in January, listening to Tennis was like having a bucket of sunshine and seawater dumped on your head while taking a nap. Needless to say it was a welcome wake up call.

"Marathon" off their debut Cape Dory is not only the best representation of an idealized summer (highs in lows included), but it's the best synthesis of surf rock and 60s girl group structures all jam-packed into this two-minute and forty-eight second song. Alaina Moore sings in such a delightfully polite manner you'd swear the ocean was begging you to jump in for a swim.

Listen:
Tennis-"Marathon"
